Mule ESB - OpenSource Integration for the Everyone
Abstract:
ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) solutions have been around for quite a while. Even before the advent formal ESB's, developers were integrating applications and systems in various ways. An ESB is a distributed infrastructure used for integration consisting of a set of service components and data adapters, which connect various types of services. ESB's provide an abstracted layer over a reliable messaging middleware infrastructure. The ESB provides foundational services for more complex architectures via an event-driven and standards-based messaging engine (the bus). The ESB provides services for transforming and routing messages, as well as the ability to centrally administer the distributed system.
Mule ESB is the leading OpenSouce implementation of an ESB. In this presentation, we will walk through a simple Mule ESB application that exposes both an HTTP endpoint and a CXF-based SOAP Web service, transforms the payload, and then routes the result to various outbound endpoints. We will use HTTP, CXF, SMTP, and XMPP as the transports. The goal of this session is to demonstrate the flexibility of an ESB and expose developers to a solid Java-based integration tool that will work with just about any technology.
